WHY YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY FOR YOUR BUSINESS

If you want your business to exist in the digital era, it almost certainly needs an online presence. If you want it to grow in the digital era, that presence needs to be exceptional.

Whether it’s a web page, social media feed, blog, or even something as simple as a Zoom listing, using professional photography has huge potential to increase consumer interest and to make your business stand out among competitors. I had written before about WHY YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS A WEBSITE but let’s be honest; what is a great website without good visuals. Here’s why.

You sell what you show

Whatever product or service you sell, think about how you are coming across to your customers. If you look cheap, expect people to start with letting out a sigh and asking, “how much?” Low quality photos translate to low quality but If you communicate quality you will attract customers who value quality and will be willing to pay for it. After all, you’re worth it!

Images get attentionVisual content is more than 40 times more likely to be shared on social media than other types of content. This means that if you are currently putting any time at all into Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or other social channels, you’ll see exponentially faster growth on these platforms by posting beautiful visual content.

Bad Photography Hurts Your BusinessYou know that your product is better than your competitor’s, but stock images and smartphone photography just won’t get the message across. This is especially true when you consider the fact that many of your bigger competitors spend huge amounts of time and money making their products look superior and authentic.

Once you’ve identified how a photographer can best help you and your business, the next step is finding one who is reputable, cost-effective, and an expert at what they do. You can certainly hire a freelancer, but be warned that navigating the world of freelance photographers is risky to say the least, as you can quickly end up overcharged for images that don’t deliver.

A safer route would be to work with an established local creative agency that specializes in high-performance marketing photography, with heaps of stunning images in their portfolio.
